When the battle ends, the soldiers head to the next field.

But for the people left in that land, time does not stop. Burnt houses. Empty fields.

"Decisive Victory"

Ruberian Army suppresses rebels in the Porta District. Citizens cheer in celebration.

・

While the flags are being raised, the fields continue to burn.

While ideals and justice are being debated, people continue to die.

How many people could have survived the winter with the money spent fighting over a single city?

・

Brachio knows poverty.

He knows what a single human being needs to survive in this country. He knows how difficult it is to obtain those things.

That is why he thought his two friends, who started this war, were absolute fools.

Another retreat order.

"Guest, you're going back already? ...I see."

Guest was operating in the same unit as Brachio.

Brachio speaks with forced cheerfulness.

"...Well, sorry, but change of plans. As of today, you're a deserter."

"Me too, though!"

Guest

A friend of Brachio since their military academy days.

Characters

Brachio

A man who served as an officer in the Ruberian Army despite his commoner roots. He is bright, friendly, and resourceful, but also prone to sarcasm and teasing.

He was close friends at the military academy with Aslan, who commands the Ruberian Regular Army, Ines, who commands the Revolutionary Army, and Guest.

His phantom beast is a Golem. A massive monster of earth and rock.

Dum spiro, spero. "While I breathe, I hope."

Intro

The battle is over. At least, that is likely how it will be recorded in the military reports.

Smoke still drifts between the charred houses, and the groans of the wounded remain. However, the order to return has already been issued to Guest's unit. It is time to head to the next battlefield.

Brachio, a member of the same unit, watches the soldiers packing their gear, a rare lack of a smile on his face.
